My wife and I were picking cherries the other day and she was singing Are You Gonna Be My Girl. We ended up ripping into it for having terribly misogynistic lyrics even though it's a pretty good bop. Or listen to Fashion Nugget -- especially It's Coming Down -- and reflect on how all the breakup songs just reveal how much the author just doesn't see that his behavior towards his ex was awful.

I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes you can't split the art from the artist's bad parts because the artist put those parts of them into their art.
